TNF induces hemorrhagic necrosis (HN) when injected into skin exposed to bacterial agents but not when injected into normal skin. In this paper, we present several lines of evidence suggesting that TNF requires the fifth component of complement (C5) to induce HN in skin exposed to bacteria. First, mouse strains that do not have C5 did not develop HN after injection of TNF and bacteria into skin...

We examined the uptake and intracellular transport of the fluorescent glucosylceramide analogue N-[5-(5,7-dimethyl BODIPYTM)-1-pentanoyl]-glucosyl sphingosine (C5-DMB-GlcCer) in human skin fibroblasts, and we compared its behavior to that of the corresponding fluorescent analogues of sphingomyelin, galactosylceramide, and lactosylceramide. All four fluorescent analogues were readily transferred...

The aim of this work was to study the influence copper content and particle morphology on performance Cu/FeOx catalysts in gas-phase conversion CO2 with hydrogen. All four investigated a between 0 5 wt% were found highly efficient, reaching 36.8%, their selectivity towards C1 versus C2-C4, C2-C4=, C5+ products dependent catalyst composition, morphology, temperature. observed range is different ...

The 2?g?X2?u+ electronic spectrum of C5+ in the gas-phase with origin band at 513nm is reported following experiments a cryogenic ion trapping instrument. Buffer gas-cooled ions, generated by laser vaporisation graphite, were investigated using two action spectroscopy approaches. Laser-induced dissociation weakly bound C5+?Hen complexes synthesised trap reveal linear dependence absorption energ...

In [6] we computed the edge Folkman number F (3, 4; 8) = 16. There we used and announced without proof that in any blue-red coloring of the edges of the graph K1 +C5 +C5 + C5 there is either a blue 3-clique or red 4-clique. In this paper we give a detailed proof of this fact.

The dynamic behavior of the term structure of interest rates is difficult to replicate with models, and even models with a proven track record of empirical performance have underperformed since the early 2000s. On the other hand, survey expectations are accurate predictors of yields, but only for very short maturities. We argue that this is partly due to the ability of survey participants to in...

We characterized anionic states of thymine using various electronic structure methods, with the most accurate results obtained at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory followed by extrapolations to complete basis set limits. We found that the most stable anion in the gas phase is related to an imino-oxo tautomer, in which the N1H proton is transferred to the C5 atom. This valence anion, aT(c5...

INTRODUCTION Lateral mass screw (LMS) fixation with plates or rods is the current standard procedure for posterior cervical fusion. Recently, implants placed between the facet joints have become available as an alternative to LMS or transfacet screws for patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability of the DTRAX(®) cervic...

Weeds that occur in repeated flushes pose major challenges to direct-seeded rice (DSR). Zero till (ZT) DSRwith crop residue influences weed interference considerably and can be substitutive resource-intensive puddledtransplanted (PTR). Field experiments were conducted at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute during2018–19 involving conservation agriculture (CA)-based DSRs control/herbicid...
